Why We Need the Second Amendment More than Ever

by Roger Simon at PJMedia:

While executives at Delta, United, Avis, etc. are virtue signaling as loudly as they can to assure us they want nothing to do with those supposed gun nuts in the National Rifle Association and are ending discounts (such as they were) for members of that organization, a real-world observation of what went on in the Parkland tragedy, not to mention other key contemporary events, might yield a radically different conclusion.

To wit: The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution has much to recommend it. Indeed, we may need it more than ever.

Let’s start with Parkland. It’s evident now, no matter what you think of current gun laws, that a myriad of governmental bureaucracies and police departments — from school authorities to social workers to the FBI to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office — screwed up on a level that borders on the incomprehensible. Blinded by a mutually reinforcing cocktail of political correctness and organizational stupidity and ineptitude, they were clueless about the near constant acting out of Nikolas Cruz.

He could have flown across the country in a hot air ballon, dropping buckets of blood and guts and trailing a banner reading “I’m Gonna Shoot Up a School,” and these clowns wouldn’t have done anything. When Cruz actually started shooting, they behaved like the most execrable cowards, the police hiding behind cars while students and teachers were dying. That their boss, Sheriff Scott Israel, still has his job is the most incomprehensible development of all.

Would anybody in his right mind trust these people with his own security, let alone those of his children?

Is it any surprise that when President Trump asked his CPAC audience Friday which was more important to them — the Second Amendment or tax reform — they chose the right to bear arms?

Here’s How the Democrats Plan to Impeach Trump

“Recently, the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released a memo officially stating that there is no evidence of any collusion between Donald Trump and Russian intelligence during the 2016 presidential election. Of course, you might not have heard this news if you have been punishing yourself by watching or reading any of the mainstream news. For its part, the mainstream media continues to prop up the improbable narrative that Donald Trump is a Russian agent of influence who is out to corrupt our democracy in Vladimir Putin’s name.

Not only is the mainstream media dutifully covering the ongoing Robert Mueller special investigation, but the media is also transfixed on the continuing drama that is the “porn star and the president.” While the former story of Trump being a Manchurian Candidate is, frankly, absurd, given the president’s history of skirt chasing, claims that Trump paid hush money to an adult film star he had an 11-month affair with in 2006 are entirely believable. In fact, MSNBC is insisting that Trump be charged with obstruction of justice for having paid $130,000 to the adult film star, known as “Stormy Daniels,” on the eve of his unlikely 2016 election victory.

Many of my fellow Rightists continue demanding, “Who cares?” However, we should care about what the Democrats and their cronies in the media believe. After all, a sizable portion of the country does listen to the mainstream media. More importantly, the people who run the country — the elected representatives and their advisers living in Washington, D.C. — listen to what Joe Scarborough and Jake Tapper broadcast every day. While they need us plebes to vote for them, our political leaders (particularly those in the GOP establishment) live in Washington, D.C. and therefore crave the approval of people like Chuck Todd (which will never come).

Besides, the special prosecutor’s investigation into claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election is weakening the Trump Administration with each day (not because there is anything to the investigation, but because the investigation itself complicates the already-herculean task of governing). Like all special investigations, former FBI director Robert Mueller’s probe is a virtually limitless inquiry into the president and his top advisers. Given that career federal prosecutors, like Mueller, are conditioned to get a conviction — any conviction — by the end of the investigation, do not doubt that Robert Mueller will find whatever he can to try to hang around the president’s neck.”

There’s something more also: Mueller is now deep-diving into the Trump Organization’s financial records (as well as Jared Kushner’s financial dealings). Should there be any impropriety — no matter how innocuous — in the Trump financial records, Mueller will have all that he needs to try to take Trump down.

Remember, Donald Trump is not — and never has been — a part of the elite, corporate political class that rules our country (the “permanent bipartisan fusion party,” as Michael Walsh calls it). No matter how much money Trump had, he could never fully be embraced as one of the elite, whether as a Democrat or a Republican. Trump’s stunning (for the elite) election to the presidency in 2016 offended every sensibility and taste of the Davoisie.

Trump was a clear threat to the Democrats because he upended their plans to finally realize James Carville’s 2009 declaration that the Democrats would rule for another 40 years. Trump’s rhetoric of draining the swamp made him an enemy of the so-called “deep state” which operates Washington, D.C. Moreover, Trump — and the people who voted for Trump — threatened the little fiefdom that the Bill Kristols, David Brookses, and Mitch McConnells of the GOP had in Washington, D.C. and New York. Like Caesar, Trump is “surrounded by enemies, and something is underway, but it has no face, yet everybody in the loop knows.”

The continual prospect of Mueller recommending impeachment for President Trump is aligning nicely with the 2018 midterms. If the 2018 midterms were happening under normal circumstances, it is likely that the Republicans would have little concern. Think about it: from a policy standpoint, President Trump has been the most effective Republican president since Ronald Reagan. Yet, these are anything but normal circumstances.

While I continue to believe that the House Republicans will fare well in the 2018 midterms, the fact of the matter is that the Democrats just need two seats to retake control of the Senate. With that majority, a Democratic-led Senate can further complicate the Trump Administration’s ability to govern by drowning it in more inquiries and investigations. As we’ve seen in the last two years of American politics, anything can happen. It’s conceivable that the Democrats could achieve this two-seat victory in the Senate (especially with their base as riled up as it has been). On the House side, the Democrats have a more difficult challenge: they need to win 21 of the 24 contested House seats in 2018. If they can accomplish that task, the Democrats will have a majority. Even without capturing the House, should they win the Senate back, the Democrats can further damage Trump heading into 2020.

Should Mueller find some financial impropriety, or should he determine that Trump obstructed justice with his $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, Mueller can recommend impeachment. Even if the Democrats are unable to flip the House, it is likely that Trump’s enemies in the Republican Party establishment will smell weakness, and take advantage. The Democrats would probably call for impeachment, but it would be the establishment Republicans who ultimately allowed for Trump’s takedown. This would be key because impeachment is not a legal process. Rather, it is a political one.

And, just like that, the old, tired, political narrative would be restored: the “true” conservatives, as led by Pence, would be facing a younger, resurgent Democratic candidate — like Julián Castro — and permanent Democratic Party control would be affirmed. Meanwhile, the Republican establishment’s members-only fiefdom would be secured. It’s a win-win for everyone in Washington. Meanwhile, we, the people get hosed.

The 2018 midterm election is the most important election of this century. It could quite seriously determine the fate of Trump’s presidency and the course of American history. The vipers in Washington are slithering forward, hoping for any excuse to expel Trump from the White House, and return things to the way they used to be. The GOP and President Trump need to fight for each and every seat in 2018, lest the Democrats do a complete end-run around the Right, and ensure that the United States becomes just another banana republic, with one-party rule; sham democracy; and oodles of debt. If the GOP can keep its majorities in 2018, then the Right can continue its much-needed counterrevolution against the radical Left.

OUR ONCE FREE AMERICA IS IN DEEP TROUBLE, FOLKS! DEMOCRAT PARTY FASCISM IS NOW INSIDE OUR DO0R STEP IT’S INSIDE IN OUR LIVING ROOMS, SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITIES, MOVIES, ISLAMIC CENTERS, THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, EVEN AT GOOGLE AND NEARLY EVERY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS AGENCY IN THE COUNTRY TO CONTROL YOUR THINKING.

IT NESTS AT FOREIGNER-CONTROLLED FOX AND ITS INTERNATIONAL COHORTS WHO CONSPIRE EVERY DAY AGAINST THE LAST VESTIGE OF DEMOCRACY’S LIFE IN AMERICA……DONALD J. TRUMP!

BUT SELLING LEFTIST PARTY FASCISM, ESPECIALLY ITS FEMINIST AND IMMIGRATION VARIETY, IS SUPREME AT PBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS.

CIVIL WAR OF LEFTIST FASCIST UPRISINGS AGAINST THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND AND LEGAL GUARANTOR OUR AMERICA FREEDOM, HAS ALREADY BEGUN THROUGHOUT FASCIST LEFT CALIFORNIA, WASHINGTON STATE, NEW YORK, ILLINOIS, CORRUPT NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, CONNECTICUT, AND DELAWARE…..crooks, Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff breeds of socialist dictatorship.

Profiteers dictate control of business and politics interests even at realclearpolitics.

Gurus in charge of this realclearleftism pretend to cast a Conservative America shadow over its neighbors to cover its international profiteering at the American workers’ expense. Phony Fox “fair and balanced” antiTrump division is owned by foreigners interested in profits, now that Britain and Australia are already camps of socialist-facsistic establishments run by international, not national or local interests.

We local Americans are becoming imprisoned by these internationalists who now rule, own these America’s Big, Big, Big businesses, the main financiers of the entire “Democrat” Party empire these days.

Then there remains at Fox, our international camp of Carl Rove Republican functionaries, the World Wide Big Business propaganda folks to topple Our Donald’s presidency….with both salesmanship, language, and charts advance the economy of the super wealthy with no thought, no regard, no concern for the destruction our traditional American Republic…..

There was an election in America that November 8, 2016. Donald J. Trump, NOT the ‘toadess’ and her Democrat Party and their Big, Big Business Fascist World of International Emperors was elected!

Donald Trump has thus far saved what is left of our democratic America from the curse of its FIRST INTERNATIONAL FASCIST-SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY WITH HILLARY AND OBAMA, AL SHARPTON, MAXINE WATERS, CORRUPT ADAM SCHIFF, and 20,000,000 ILLEGAL legal GOVERNMENT “BOUGHT” FOREIGNERS AT THE HELM.

Industry, honesty, JudeoChristianity , the working class, the common citizen, seeking Truth through knowledge in America have been crucified since 1990 with the arrival of the wealth of the RISING BIG-BIG international industrial and trade world (example Nafta) and its destruction of the American economy by moving its productions elsewhere, out of America for bigger profits at cheaper expense for the greedy classes throughout the globe. And then there arose the disorders of the FEMINIST DITSIES, the neurotic noises from mindless-with feelings, the inevitable FEMINIST REVOLUTIONARIES, the Betty Friedans, Andrea Dworkins, the Gloria Steinem ditsies who mouth fascism’s affection for hysteria, evils, intolerance, corruption at university where ever, whenever they make their noises, all creating the following for our once honorable, honored, United States of America:

TO HELL WITH THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. TO HELL WITH THE PENNSYLVANIAN MINER, THE WISCONSIN DAIRY FARMER, THE ST. LOUIS URBAN PHARMACIST, TOO HELL WITH THE FAMILY WITH A MOTHER AT HOME CARING FOR HER CHILDREN, TO HELL AND GOOD RIDDANCE TO AMERICA’S JUDEOCHRISTIAN LEARNINGS AND PREACHING AND ITS GODFEARING FOLLOWERS WHO CREATED AMERICA’S FREEDOMS………

AND TO HELL TO ALL THOSE FOLKS WHO, WITH THEIR HEART AND MUSCLE, NEARLY ALL HUMAN MALES, LIVED, DEFENDED, LIVED AND DIED TO CREATE, BUILD, SEEK TRUTH, AND DEFEND A GOD-FEARING NATION BASED ON SEEKING TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE TO MEET THE INEVITABLE CHALLENGES OF THE UNKNOWN FUTURE.

The following is today’s top three listings from realclearpolitics selling, pretending that Time, Slate, and Big, Big Business Wall Street Journal represent their ‘conservative’ persuasions for the press. NO WONDER I AM SUCH AN AMERICAN DONALD TRUMP FAN!!

(PS: I admit the above article requires some editing to clarify further, deeper, “The curse of the Adam Schiff fascists ” we traditional, freedom-loving Americans must now confront in Congress, in California, Illinois, and New York and our nation’s schools and universities, and at our borders in particular, and throughout the country in general by rediscovering our JudeoChristian values these leftists have destroyed.

I’ll get to the task some day, but in the meantime, Wake Up America!!!

The Insidious Obama Administration

By Julie Kelly at American Greatness:

This week delivered two bits of very bad news for the Obama Administration: Top Republican lawmakers formally requested the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the Justice Department’s conduct in 2016 and 2017, and long-withheld documents related to the Operation Fast and Furious scandal will finally be released to Congress.

It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch.

The public behavior by several Obama officials since Donald Trump’s election has been shameful and shameless. It would be easy to write it off as sour grapes, to treat them like a sad group of ex-wives grumbling about why they got dumped. But their actions are more insidious—and unprecedented—than that. Bitter about their unexpected defeat in November 2016 and terrified that their Trump-Russia conspiracy scheme will be exposed in full by Congress, Obama loyalists have been working overtime to discredit the president, smear Republican lawmakers, and keep the focus on Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign.

Just days after Trump won the election, Josh Earnest, Obama’s press secretary, openly began to question the legitimacy of Trump’s victory and peddled Trump-Russia conspiracy tales to an eager, Trump-hating press corps. Obama holdover Sally Yates refused to enforce Trump’s travel ban in her position as acting Attorney General. (She is now emerging as a central figure in the case against Michael Flynn.)

Loretta Lynch, Obama’s last attorney general, recorded a video advocating violence to resist the new administration, comparing it to other great American struggles. “It has been people, individuals, who have banded together, who simply saw what needed to be done, who have made the difference,” Lynch said. “They’ve marched. They’ve bled. Yes, some of them have died. This is hard. Every good thing is.”

Former FBI director James Comey, who was fired by Trump in May 2017, routinely tweets cryptic—if not childish—political messages aimed at the president and Congress while defending the agency whose credibility he helped degrade:

All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would. But take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up. Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy.

And ol’ Uncle Joe Biden told CNN’s Chris Cuomo last month that Trump is a “joke.”

As congressional investigations close in on uncovering possible corruption related to the handling of the Christopher Steele dossier in the waning months of the Obama administration, former top officials are now ratcheting up their criticism of the president. Obama’s so-called “wingman,” former Attorney General Eric Holder, seems particularly vexed lately. He has called for the abolition of the Electoral College, referred to Trump as “an orange man,” and blamed him for empowering neo-Nazis. In an interview with Rachel Maddow last month, Holder suggested that the president should be charged with obstruction of justice and claimed “any one of my kids would make a better president than Donald Trump.” WIthout any sense of irony, the only attorney general to have been held in contempt of Congress blasted Jeff Sessions for not protecting his people at the Justice Department from political pressure. (Stop laughing. No, go ahead.)

But it was his appearance last weekend on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” that might backfire on Holder. When Maher asked for his response to a backhanded compliment Trump made about him, Holder smugly responded: “The difference between me and Jeff Sessions is that I had a president I did not have to protect.” He repeatedly defended Obama as clean and scandal-free—”I think he (Trump) actually believes that there were things that were done wrong or illegally by Barack Obama and it comes from the Fox [News] blogosphere. It’s simply not true.” (The former president himself is peddling that myth. At a private event last month, Obama insisted that his administration “didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us.”)

Holder’s criticism might’ve been the last straw for Sessions as he announced Wednesday that his department will hand over documents pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious to the House Oversight Committee, ending “six years of litigation arising out of the previous administration’s refusal to produce documents requested by the Committee.” (It was Holder’s refusal to release those documents that led to his contempt charge.)

But the man who is spinning the hardest right now is John Brennan, Obama’s former CIA director. Not only are Brennan’s malicious remarks totally inappropriate for someone who once served as the nation’s top intelligence officer, he seems desperate to put up a public defense of his role in disseminating the dossier. It’s probably not a coincidence that Brennan just started tweeting a few months ago, as questions about his involvement in peddling the Steele dossier to lawmakers in 2016 and the unmasking of Trump campaign associates started to surface. (His Twitter bio says he is a “nonpartisan American.” LOL.)

Nearly every tweet has been a personal attack on the president: He has compared Trump to a “narcissistic, vengeful autocrat,” called him a “deeply flawed person,” and “small, petty, and banal.” He’s defended Mueller’s investigation and said it is “implausible” that the Russians didn’t sway votes in 2016. But, like Holder, Brennan may have kicked the hornet’s nest too many times. On February 1, Brennan tweeted this:

I had many fights with Congressional Dems over the years on national security matters. But I never witnessed the type of reckless partisan behavior I am now seeing from Nunes and House Republicans. Absence of moral and ethical leadership in WH is fueling this government crisis.

A few days later, on “Meet the Press,” Brennan accused Devin Nunes, chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, of “abus(ing) the office of the chairmanship.” Two weeks later, Nunes sent a letter to several current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials asking questions about how the Steele dossier was used in obtaining a FISA warrant on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page. Brennan was on the list.

Since then, Brennan has been on a full-fledged propaganda tour, vilifying the president in a truly despicable manner. In an outrageous interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on March 2, Brennan called Trump, “unstable, inept, and unethical.” He said he has “serious, serious doubts” that Trump will ensure the country is “safe, secure and prosperous in the future.” He also went after Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and claimed the president was not reading national security information. The man who did basically nothing to stop so-called Russian election interference for years repeatedly blasted the Trump administration for not moving quicker to protect us from future incursions.

Then, the former CIA director tweeted this to the president:

Why did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November? Wanted to discredit so Crooked H would win. Unprecedented. Bigger than Watergate! Plus, Obama did NOTHING about Russian meddling.

This tweet is a great example of your paranoia, constant misrepresentation of the facts, and increased anxiety and panic (rightly so) about the Mueller investigation. When will those in Congress and the 30 percent of Americans who still support you realize you are a charlatan?

Outrageous.

Brennan might want to take a break from spouting off on Twitter and friendly cable news programs and practice his legal defense in private. In a fierce takedown in Tablet magazine, writer Lee Smith said Brennan is “having trouble keeping his Trump-Russia stories straight.” (Not shocking considering his unreliable relationship with the truth.)

Smith questioned Brennan’s recent claim on “Meet the Press” that he didn’t see the dossier until December 2016:

That makes no sense. In July, Brennan alerted the FBI to the possibility that Russia is seeking to interfere in the presidential election. In August, he briefed the White House and then congressional leaders on Russia’s attempts to influence the election for the purpose of putting Trump in the White House. In December, the CIA assessed that Russia had done exactly that. But for five months, Brennan didn’t bother to look at a document widely discussed for months by the Washington press corps that deals explicitly with the issue that has the director of the Central Intelligence Agency setting off fire alarms at the FBI, Congress, and the White House?

As the Trump-Russia plotline starts to unravel and the real culprits—political operatives disguised as law enforcement agents, intelligence community professionals and Obama cabinet members—are fingered, we can expect to hear more vituperation from these folks. What’s the old saying about protesting too much?

Trump will accept Kim Jong Un’s invitation to meet, White House says

By Matt Richardson, Brooke Singman, Fox News:

President Trump will accept an invitation by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un to meet, the White House confirmed Thursday night, in a dramatic development after months of sabre-rattling between the two world leaders.

Kim extended the invitation and the president agreed that the two would meet by May, South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong announced at the White House.

“Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze,” Trump tweeted. “Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!”

Trump, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, “will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined.” But, Sanders added, “in the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain.”

Earlier Thursday, Chung announced that Trump would meet with Kim to “continue the goal of denuclearization.”

Kim “expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible,” Chung said. “President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization.”

Kim, according to Chung, understands that joint military exercises between South Korea and the U.S. would continue. The North Korean leader, according to recent talks with Chung, also claimed to be “commited to denuclearization.”

“He (Kim) pledged that North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear missile tests,” Chung said, adding that Trump’s “leadership” and “maximum pressure” brought us “to this juncture.”

Chung said that “along with President Trump,” he is “optimistic of continuing a diplomatic process.” But he added that “the pressure will continue until North Korea matches its words with concrete actions.”
